1/ Organismic approaches to carbon sequestration - synthetic biology platforms to design microorganisms that can improve the carbon capture in agriculture as well as nature based solutions

3/ Won't be evil on the frontend, can't be evil on the backend - the emergence of hybrid architectures where a front end is designed to be very consumer friendly and accessible and secure but its operating on a fully decentralized protocol

4/ Human Certified Content - amidst the rise of AI-generated entertainment, there may be a growing importance placed on content that is certified as human generated and there may be a premium placed on it.
